the art students and the boys in bands

Loved the new chapter, especially the hair touching moment and James just being in awe 🤭

my lily can give james’s messy hair a run for it’s money!!! (i am projecting as someone with frustrating hair which i am still trying to love)

this is the vibe of my lily’s hair! probably more like a cross between wavy and curly but whateverrrr

A lil jily comic doodle hehe

I keep meaning to do one, but I don’t! So thank you! I’ll do it here and pin it.

We Can Be Heroes canon marauders fic, from 6th year till 31st Oct 1981, with a happy ending... my favourite

A Little Risk my current WIP, an anti-fascist, murder mystery marauders AU - Remus is a Jewish detective in 1930s England, the Duke of Grimmauld is murdered and he is asked to investigate, Lily Evans as P.I. joins the case. Doctor Potter and the Duke’s eldest son are suspects. Who is the murderer??

Maybe I Waited Too Long - A Marauders Medical AU -  Dr. James Potter and Dr. Sirius Black had gotten their lives and careers back on track after the nightmare that followed the collapse of Slytherin Pharmaceuticals, and moved abroad to work in Dublin to get away from painful memories. But they find themselves confronted by their past, their lost loves and arch enemies.

Prongs, What Did You Do? Sirius wants to make Jily happen and James wants to make Wolfstar happen. Neither couple look like they will ever get together, so they both independently decide to take matters into their own hands, like good Wingmen... 

Evans Strikes Back (one shot) Sirius burst out laughing.“Touché, darling,” he said. “Although I think that I fit the part of Han Solo so much better than Prongsie here?”His grey eyes sparkled as he winked at Lily.“Well, obviously,” said Lily, matter-of-factly, popping a handful of crisps into her mouth.“Huh?” said James, looking between them in horror. “That’s… that’s so not true!”

All Too Well Prompt: Wolfstar angst - Snape gives Sirius an ultimatum.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Wolfnoote James and Harry make Wolfstar happen... very fluffy!

The Very End the canon marauders ending/ 31st October 1981 ... ugh, in three parts: Jily, Sirius POV and Remus POV - very bloody tragic

Nah, He Didn't Lily talks to a cute black dog about James Potter... fluffy BlackEvans

The End of a Serene Quarantine (aka: Why The Hell Did Lockdown Have To End) Wolfstar get together fluff

Birthday Blues Sirius turns 60! Wolfstar fluff

The Last Laugh James is embarrassed, friends make it worse and then better

Minding Harry babysitting fluff

Wildflowers Lily puts flowers on Prongs’ head... (Jily fluff and angst)

Summary:

It's that time of year again, and first I have to address the elephant in the room: I was WAY less active in fandom this year because of IRL things, which meant I absolutely didn't read as much as past years (or as much as I wanted to, I still have SO MANY FICS from Jily Week to read that I'm sure would've been on my list!)

(Usual disclaimer goes here that you can check out the lists from 2022, 2023, and 2024 here, here, and here respectively, I will not rec fics I’ve previously rec’d, and this is in no way a comprehensive list of my favorite fics of the year).

ONESHOTS Like I lived my whole life before the first light by @annabtg Changing Tides by @annasghosts Sleep Through September by @charmsandtealeaves she's got a way by @juniperpyre a picture is worth a thousand words by @emeralddoeadeer I Want Your Midnights by emmathecasualauthor a happy accident by @giggles-and-freckles and i'm happy for them, but then again i'm not by gigglesandfreckles two minute decisions to change your whole love life by @goldenlionprince don't marry him by @isahorcrux The Witch Hunter by @neverenoughmarauders late afternoon, early spring light by @ohhevans/ohhevans my hand was the one you reached for by ohevans The Love You Take by @pennyrigby now is the winter of our discontent (or: 20% off when you buy any two haircare products) by @possessingtheproperspirit Oh, That You Only Meant Well? by @sigynlily A Lesson in Rivalries by @sirenicc Green-eyed Glare by @trinitydaydabbles Somewhere on the Kitchen Floor by @yallthemwitches

*Denotes a WIP

This year I read 95 fics by 41 authors, (about half of my number from last year)— and it really skewed heavily towards Oneshots. Hopefully I'll find some more time to read next year because I have several longer fics on my TBR that I'm excited to start on!

Professor Remus Lupin on platform 9 ¾ before he boards the train to Hogwarts.

you might have missed out on during holiday rush but should definitely check out! 

Butterbeer Bludger and Other Disasters for All Gryffindors and Ravenclaws Involved by @lizardcookie An added scene to the friends with benefits “i love you (ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard).” (which is a masterpiece and already legendary and if you haven’t read it yet then what are you waiting for?)

i’ll be cleaning up bottles with you by k_tron  A New Year’s Eve party, a thrown drink, and a whole lot of repressed emotions.

Auld Lang Syne by Aspera ( @eyelashesandentropy ) When James Potter and Lily Evans can’t seem to define their relationship in time for New Year’s Eve, their friends take it into their own hands to fix that. Text fic. Sequel to A Kiss in the Text  (which, yes, you should read as soon as yesterday)
